1. A control apparatus for an exercise therapy device, which is configured to use isokinetic load control and constant-watt load control in combination when an exerciser operates pedals to carry out training, the isokinetic load control controlling a load torque to be applied to each of the pedals so that the load torque becomes equal to a rotation torque applied to the each of the pedals by pedaling of the exerciser, the constant-watt load control controlling a target torque value to be applied to the each of the pedals so that one of an average watt, which is an average value of a power in one rotation of the pedaling of the exerciser, and a peak watt, which is a maximum value of the power, becomes constant among rotations of the pedaling, the control apparatus comprising:
an isokinetic load control part for holding and adjusting a target rotation speed value and a gain for the left pedal and a target rotation speed value and a gain for the right pedal independently, to thereby perform the constant-watt load control among the rotations of the pedaling while performing the isokinetic load control to control the load torque to be applied to the left pedal and the load torque to be applied to the right pedal independently; and a switch for determining, based on one of information on the rotation torque applied to the each of the pedals by the pedaling of the exerciser and information on a rotational position of the each of the pedals, which of the isokinetic load control for the left pedal and the isokinetic load control for the right pedal is to be used, to thereby switch a measured rotation speed value, which is a value input to the isokinetic load control, and the target torque value, which is a value output from the isokinetic load control. |
